What I like about this thread is we have folk from polar opposite ends of the “political” spectrum and we can all get along. Makes me feel all fuzzy inside😀. Almost as though the great game of cricket brings us all together, a gentleman’s game, so I doff my cap to all you gents who appreciate the fantastic game of cricket and long may it continue.

Just a heads up for the cricket porn tomorrow, 2nd T20, India v England starts at 1.30pm tomorrow (Sunday). Great win last time out, I’m sure the Indians will come fighting back. Any changes to the line up? Morgan mentioned Topley and Tom Curran after the last game so perhaps a rest for Wood/Archer who both bowled superbly in the first game. Keep it the same for me.

I hope we don't change the team too much. I would rather we won the series first and then rest some players. The only change I would consider is possibly Moeen for Curran.

No one needs resting for T20’s unless they’re injured, the time to tinker is when we’re 3 up with 2 to play. Plus I’m seriously not convinced by Tom Curran, he uses his variety balls way too often because his stock balls simply aren’t good enough......

Very hard though to get a place in that batting line up... Buttler, Roy, Malan, Bairstow, Morgan, Stokes... Wow! Worth also considering that the top two scoring batsmen in this year’s Big Bash are English and don’t feature in this squad.

Thinking more as an all rounder, bowls leg spin and off spin. Averages 18 in T20 cricket with the ball. It’s time to consign Mo to the history books

We need some work in this area. Everything else has tons of quality depth.

Leaving him with a bruised hand and an extra run for England🤣

Top order batsman with a bit of wrist spin will be priceless.

A bit harsh on the Currans, but not that much. They’re a throwback to our all rounders of the 1990s, not quite good enough with bat or ball.

All our batsmen have struggled timing the ball today - with the exception of Jos Buttler.
It looks like one of those “pace off” wickets - which should suit the Curran bros.

Garbage the pair of them, with Sam slightly less garbage than Tom; who along with Bess could be turning out for Porthill Park in a couple of months.

Really doesn’t look a great track if the bowlers are canny.

Slowed down towards the end but I think that’s a good score.
